A dead piano player has left a clue as to who was responsible for his death in the form of a mysterious eight-note tune.

Well, at least it wasn’t a telephone number.

Anyway, this one turns on being able to “spell” words (consisting exclusively of the letters A through G) by notes. If I were truly ambitious, I’d play the tune “ACE BEGAD’, but I’m not so terribly fond of this tale as to want to do that.
